I love the classic 4x4 decals. Just sweet. :D

CW recently fixed a similar rust issue. Hopefully I'm pasting the correct page: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1230&start=375

interesting. Technically, both front tires should stick out a little bit. The MJ is wider in the bed area than the front. Have you had someone saw the wheel back and forth while you watched the frontend? Check for play in the bushing on the other end of the trackbar, as well as movement of the trackbar bracket relative to the frame, and also look for a crack in the frame between the steering gear and the trackbar bracket.

Pete Montie I've got family and even an MJ (er, most of one anyway) in Loganville, GA so I figure I might as well post up. :D

I was almost game. :( But I didn't get to come down with the parents this trip (they left today). The next planned trip to GA for me is Octoberfest weekend. :cheers: Shelby, do you still have that front towbar setup for me? I've gotta find a way to get that from you. :( I wonder if my bro-in-law heads up that way sometimes (he drives all over the place for his new job). Or maybe I can convince my dad to swing by your place on the return trip (in a couple weeks). Logistics are just that much harder from 700 miles away. :shake:

I believe it was the "Clinton, On" in his post that was the important part. :D Otherwise, yes you are correct that OH is ohio. :thumbsup:

I'll just post up a random picture of me at the Badlands from 4 years back and pretend that I got to go with you guys. :( :D

any lift?

What's a "7" spring perch"? Where did you see that written?

My almost-MJ-number-5 fizzled out the same way. I hate idiots who don't know how to answer the dang phones or return calls. :fs1:

Try car-part.com Are you looking for an XJ axle (smaller Jeep SUV with a dana 30 front)? Or an SJ axle (big Jeep SUV with a Dana 44 front)? I've done quite a bit of research (and looking at them in various countries) on export XJ/MJ's to everywhere and never saw anything about D44 fronts. Do you have any additional info? Thanks. :cheers: If I remember right, it was discussed a couple months ago and the conclusion was that some counties got them, but most didn't.

How old are the cables?

By the way, they are running a 3.07 Dana 35 out back (at the salt flats at least, don't know if they ever change it out).

double thanks Fiat! They gave me a business card with that address but I cannot find it. :(

My brain wants to say it's a smallblock Chevy, but hopefully LVC will chime in to explain the details on their awesome rig.

full size Waggys. :thumbsup:

You still might have troubles down the road. The heat will dry out the lumber. :(

buy a kit. :thumbsup: And make it a good kit. It'll be worth every penny to not have to re-do it later. :D

Huh. I don't seem to have a shot online of my CB mount. :dunno: Well, in the meantime, I highly recommend a spring mount. I wish I had thought of it before snapping off a fiberglass antenna on a tree branch. :(

Someone told me a while back that a stretched timing chain/belt can lead to really bad blowby. I've yet to test out this theory (mine doesn't move much these days, but was consuming a whole heck of a lot when last she saw freeway time), but if your compression results are fine (mine were acceptable) then you might want to look into it.

Your original valve has probably been bypassed and discarded then. Look under there and see if you have two brake lines running from the combo valve under the master cylinder to the rear axle. If it's been bypassed one of the lines will be abandoned (or removed). Or the 2 may be tied together somewhere with a T fitting. :thumbsup:

If I remember right, the Lakeview team is from California. WFC was having engine troubles. It was still in the trailer when I had to leave and catch the flight back on Tuesday. They were eventually able to get the truck through the tech inspection :thumbsup: , but I have not yet heard whether or not they were even able to make a run. I'll update as soon as I hear.

The front leaf conversion has been done, but I seem to remember one member's opinion that he'd never do it again. If our search function is working you might be able to the thread. Strengthening the front uniframe is very important. Cooling can be a major headache in a v8 conversion. Some guys never seem to win. :( advanceadapters.com should also have motor mounts.
